PRIMARY RUN-OFF HELD
ONLY HOPE TO BEAT SMITH
. -
TWO FOES OF SENATOR
FIGHTING EACH OTHER
EVEN FEDERAL OFFICE
HOLDERS FAIL TO AID
BYRNES DOESN'T WANT
TO SHARE PATRONAGE
GREENVILLE, S. O., Aug. 8. In
tola state, the White House purge
of the Democracy appeara to be
neatly caught between hell and high
water. On the one hand la Senator
Cotton Ed Smith, an aged but re
sourceful reactionary, loathed by the
White House for many high crimes
and misdemeanors, but now an odds
on bet for re-election. On the other
are tho two New Deal candidates,
Governor OUn D. Johnston and State
Senator Edgar Brown, hopelessly em
broiled with one another, tearing the
president's coat-tails to shreds, and
weary from Cotton Ed's relentless
chivvying.
If the beBt prognostlcators are to
be believed, It will take the direct
Intervention of providence to beat
Cotton Ed In the first primary. The
run-off la a different matter. New
Deal sympathizers here hope that,
If Cotton Ed falls of a clear ma
jority the--first time. It will be pos
sible to beat him by concentrating
all the New Deal strength behind his
remaining opponent.
Nevertheless, the situation Is a
sorry one. The White House purge
looked fine on paper here, for South
Carolina la a state where the Roose
velt name meana much. But, when
the purge got started, It was dis
covered, as usual, that the presi
dent wasn't In the race and that the
purgers had neglected to make allies
among the local political organlza
tlona. So Cotton Ed Is ramping up
and down, roaring out the awful
old cliches about white supremacy
and swearing he Is aa good a liberal
as the next man, and there Is no
one to say him nay.
The oddest feature of the situa
tlon Is that even the federal office
holders, who constitute a formidable
Independent machine, are not going
down tho line for the White House
Most of them are appolnteea of the
president's dear friend, Senator Jim
my Byrnes. On all questions except
spending. Jimmy Byrnes has claimed
to be a White House man. On almost
all questions, he has disagreed dia
metrically with his collegue. But the
word Is that, while Jimmy Byrnea'
.appoltnees are remaining publicly
neutral, they are privately backing
Cotton Ed.
There Is a simple explanation for
